This is a little unrelated but I notice that all Google services are getting very slow. They eat up CPU and memory like it's nothing.

It's nice what can be done with Internet these days but I prefer the old quick Google with almost the same features but less shine.

I have to agree, at least in terms of these Trek sites. The latest versions of Safari, Firefox, and Chrome constantly use 50%+ of my CPU to render these pages, without me having to scroll or interact at all. For a site that doesn't use any plug-ins, it sure heats up my laptop like a plug-in would.

* Edit: I only meant to agree that these specific Trek sites feel very slow, not "all Google services."

Yup. This surely is unrelated.

Well in fact it wasn't that unrelated. I can barely watch the special Google maps sites like this one: http://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetvie...
